Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Give him three to five years, and Reiner will set off a massive Internet revolution in this world, allowing the world to instantly enter the era of information explosion!

Weapons that can change the world are by no means just one-sided things like pacifists or seraphim.

"You are such a jerk."

Vegapunk was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

You know, it's because of Reiner's current strength and reputation that he feels that this Chamber of Commerce can succeed. Even if Reiner doesn't know how to do business, with Vegapunk's own brain, learning a little is enough to support the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.

More importantly, apart from Reiner and the World Government, no one else in the world today has the conditions to build such a behemoth, which means there will be no competitors.

A monopoly has been formed invisibly, which may cover the trade channels of most countries in the entire Grand Waterway!

Seeing this, Nami and the others dared to expand their imagination a little, and gradually began to realize that the "Chamber of Commerce" that Reiner described lightly seemed to be far more terrifying than they had imagined.

Even Vegapunk, who dared to ask for 200 billion berries, had such an exaggerated reaction when asked to use one-third of the profits as research funds. It is hard to imagine how profitable this thing is.

Having said that, Hancock no longer hesitated and nodded to Reiner in a serious tone,

"I understand. I now agree to join the Black Snake Chamber of Commerce in the name of the Amazon Lily King. I will go to those two places to prepare the ship as you requested. I will contact you once the Nine Snakes caravan is formed."

Hancock didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to do something to repay others for their help. Even if her own caravan did not need the protection of the Black Snake Chamber of Commerce, she didn't mind sharing some of the profits with Reiner.

"it is good."

Reiner nodded happily.

The first member is the world-famous Kingdom of Women, led by the world's most beautiful Pirate Empress. This is an excellent publicity opportunity for the Black Snake Chamber of Commerce, and its value in the early days of the Chamber of Commerce is far greater than the profit.

A mere Pirate Empress, just become my production tool from now on, hehehe~~

Reiner smiled darkly inwardly.

"What about me? Should I go with you?"

Vegapunk asked aloud.

Reiner glanced at him, touched his chin and thought for a while, and took this guy in on a whim. He actually hadn't thought of what kind of work to assign him.

After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly came up with an idea:

"As for you, why don't you go to the Seven Water City first? I have something to entrust to you. This is also the first research project I have planned."

"The capital of seven waters?"

"Well, you must have heard of this Sea Train thing."

"Of course I know about the Sea Train. Mr. Tom is such a great shipbuilder. I've been amazed by his deeds ever since I heard about them."

There was a glimmer of excitement in Vegapunk's eyes, and one could actually see a bit of admiration and faith in him.

Reiner couldn't help but feel that it was rare. He smiled at Franky and turned back to continue:

"My first research goal is this. See if the sea train and its tracks can be improved and upgraded, and develop a plan to popularize the sea train on the Grand Canal."

"That's it, I understand!"

Vegapunk was filled with excitement and obviously couldn't wait.

He didn't expect that after obtaining his ability, a pirate would not think about researching weapons and cannons, but instead set his first target on a traffic problem that almost all pirates would not pay attention to.

Suddenly, for a moment, Vegapunk was surprised at his own heart, and he actually felt moved by a pirate who was a rare friend.

"Okay, that takes care of everything here, Luffy."

Reiner looked at Luffy.

"Hehehe, then let's get ready to go."

Luffy grinned and jumped up excitedly with his hands raised, full of passion between the blue sea and sky.

"Set sail, everyone! Destination Elbaf!!"

"--oh!!"

Chapter 421: Overlord of the Sea

A day has passed since the end of the Aeghede War.

In order to seize and guide public opinion, the printing houses controlled by the world government printed out large quantities of newspapers at the fastest speed and distributed them to major newspapers.

In just one night, the outcome of the war spread rapidly throughout the world.

In the Sabaody Archipelago, giant trees grow lushly and greenly. Colorful bubbles float in the dense treetops, bursting and dissipating in the sunlight that filters through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

wow——

The waves broke through the water surface, revealing a cute head with short green hair. Kimi looked around for a while, his expression looking a little nervous.

After confirming that there was no one around, she quietly swam to a peninsula on the outskirts. After searching for a while, she finally found a latest newspaper. She opened it and started reading.

"Great! I knew Luffy and the others would be okay!"

When Kimi saw the content in the newspaper, he was so excited that he couldn't help but shout with joy.

On her shoulder, a starfish wearing a hat and dressed fashionably jumped out and covered her mouth.

"Too loud, stupid Kimi! Where do you think this place is? Grab the newspaper and let's go back quickly."

"Yeah, we need to quickly bring this news to everyone on Fishman Island."

Kimi suppressed his excitement and nodded.

In the newspaper, the scene of a city engulfed in flames was the first picture, with a text next to it, and at the end it said that the Straw Hat Pirates had successfully escaped.

The navy's defeat was finally presented in the form of "failure to successfully capture the Straw Hat Pirates."

Even from the beginning to the end of the battle, the article vividly portrays the image of the Straw Hat Pirates as brutal pirates. The righteous navy fought bravely and waged a cruel and tragic war with the Straw Hat Pirates, the overlord of the sea.

At a critical moment in the war, it was interrupted by the arrival of the resurrected Giant Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates. Under siege from multiple forces, the Navy was unable to cope and was forced to abandon its war goals.

[Failed to successfully arrest the Straw Hat Pirates], [The Giant Pirates were resurrected], [The Whitebeard Pirates supported the brothers], and [The Navy gave up the battle target].

Each keyword is a fact, but when combined together, black and white are completely reversed.

There is no indication in the article that the Navy was defeated. To an uninformed person, it seems that the Navy even forced the Straw Hat Pirates into a desperate situation with their overwhelming advantage, and ultimately failed to capture them due to interference from other forces.

As for the Five Elder Stars descending upon Egghead, not a single word about it would appear in the newspapers.

On Beehive Island, where the sun is warm and the seas are calm all year round, a small, dilapidated warship slowly approaches the shore.

After a while, several pairs of footsteps stepped onto the beach.

"Stusi has already contacted Gabra and the others. Rest here for two days. Once we've reunited, we'll set off to find Lucci."

Kaku had a gloomy expression, with the seriously injured and unconscious Khalifa on his back, and Bruno followed beside him carrying a large bag of supplies.

After the Five Elders were all driven back to the Holy Land, the navy quickly evacuated. At the last moment, Bruno used the last bit of his consciousness to activate his abilities and brought all the seriously injured people to the edge of the coast.

After recovering some strength, they found an abandoned and wrecked warship. Relying on the supplies on the ship, they escaped from Egghead overnight and finally arrived at the nearest island.

Pirate Paradise, Beehive Island.

"I'm afraid everyone above us thinks we're dead. What are we going to do next?"

Bruno asked in a low voice.

Kaku looked at the island silently, his eyes revealing endless confusion.

Even if it goes back, it will probably be discarded as waste.

After all, the reason these people can become CP0 together is to a certain extent because the higher-ups are impressed by Lucci's abilities.

He started training and selection since he was a child, and gradually joined CP9 to serve the World Government. In a blink of an eye, more than years have passed, and there is not a single place in the vast ocean that can bring him peace of mind.

Looking back on his life of traveling all over the sea to carry out missions and visiting so many places, what he missed most at this moment was the days of sawing wood under the sun.

After having breakfast with colleagues in the cafeteria, I took my tools to see the ships, or worked as a carpenter in the shipyard.

Occasionally, there would be some ignorant guys who wanted to default on their debts and cause trouble. The shipbuilders would rush up and beat them up, and then, under the admiring gaze of the citizens, they would throw the troublemakers out of the shipyard like chickens.

He would often receive cheers from the citizens, and would shuttle between the streets and tall buildings in the name of "mountain breeze", feeling the coolness of the sea breeze.

It was just an ordinary and ordinary morning.

Such images always appear in dreams, and then disappear when you wake up, leaving behind a lingering regret in the bedroom.

Kaku was silent for a while, and finally walked towards the island, saying softly:

"I should go back to the Seven Water City."

"Should I say it's true?"

Bruno was still serious. In private, he always had no expression on his face, looking like a taciturn and mature man.

Only when he was working in the tavern, he would receive many craftsmen from the shipyard every night and listen to their conversations with a silly smile on his face.

The more absurd and funny the topic was, the more interested everyone was in talking about it. They drank heartily amidst the lively laughter. Bruno felt that he had done a perfect job. No one could tell that his smile was a fake, and he didn't think so either.

Until the restaurant closed late at night, he began to clean up the mess on the table left by the guests, watching them drunkenly walking arm in arm, supporting each other, and staggering along the moonlit street.

In a trance, he seemed to see rats in the stinking ditches beside the street, just like them now, attracting disgust wherever they went.

Now things are no longer the same.

There was a dull gloom in Bruno's eyes.

"In fact, there is no way for us to truly return to the Seven Water City."

"Well, that's okay."

Kaku spoke in a calm tone, just walking forward step by step, as if this could strengthen his determination.

"I haven't even apologized to them yet. You can do whatever you want to me, but I have to at least see them again."

“There’s nowhere else I want to go.”

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Bruno shook his head and sighed, "I'll go with you then."

The island was as noisy and bustling as ever, especially after seeing the newspaper that had just been published today, every tavern was talking loudly about the deeds of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The pirates did not have any hatred towards the group of people who had invaded the island not long ago. The law of the jungle has always been the rule on this island.

They will only think that Teach is too bad, or lament that the Straw Hat Pirates are too strong, and then become flatterers of one of the strong ones.
